Here is an amusing game featuring an elephant that takes less than 10 minutes to beat: Achievement Unlocked! It satirizes the emphasis on “achievements” in modern video games (Xbox 360 especially).

The new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album It’s Blitz! is now available online, though it will be officially released in April. Here’s a video of the first single: “Zero.”

I’m thinking about going to one or two days of the three-day 2009 Sasquatch! Music Festival at the Gorge in Washington. It’s happening over Memorial Day weekend in May. The lineup includes Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Decemberists, Doves, M. Ward, Jane’s Addiction, Nine Inch Nails and loads more. I’m going to the Saturday shows for sure, still thinking about Sunday.
